PECHA KUCHA is a Japanese word meaning “Chit Chat”. PechaKucha Nights started in Tokyo in 2003, and have since gone viral and are presented in over 700 cities worldwide. A simple means to share stories, the evenings are informal and fun gatherings where creative people get together and share their ideas, works, thoughts, holiday snaps — just about anything, really — in the PechaKucha 20×20 format.
